UFC 164 takes place Aug. 31 at Milwaukee’s Bradley Center. The main card airs on pay-per-view, and additional prelims air on FOX Sports 1.

Houston turned pro a little more than a year ago. He’s won four straight fights, including his past three via first-round knockout (in an average time of 64 seconds), on the regional circuit. The former Hampton University football player now fights out of Nebraska.

Romero, meanwhile, fights for the second time under the UFC banner. The former Cuban Olympic wrestling medalist made his debut in April, when he scored a brutal knockout of Clifford Starks. All five of Romero’s career wins have come by knockout.
